AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation: The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, including QCR Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2008. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements, have been omitted.
The financial information of the Company included herein has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Any differences appearing between the numbers presented in financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis are due to rounding. The results of the interim periods ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries which includes four state-charted commercial banks: Quad City Bank & Trust (“QCBT”), Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust (“CRBT”), Rockford Bank & Trust (“RB&T”), and First Wisconsin Bank & Trust (“FWBT”); and Quad City Bancard, Inc. (“Bancard”) which provides merchant and cardholder credit card processing services. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Activities related to discontinued operations have been recorded separately with current and prior period amounts reclassified as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets and as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statement of cash flows. The notes to the consolidated financial statements have also been adjusted to eliminate the effect of discontinued operations.
Stock-based compensation plans: Please refer to Note 13 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for information related to the Company’s stock option and incentive plans, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and stock purchase plan.
During the third quarter of 2008, the Company granted to directors and certain employees nonqualified stock options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock. The Company did not grant any shares of restricted stock during the third quarter of 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $147 thousand and ($38) thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and $289 thousand and ($31) thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A key component in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense is the market price of the Company’s stock.
NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
SALE OF MERCHANT CREDIT CARD ACQUIRING BUSINESS
On August 29, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Quad City Bancard, Inc., sold its merchant credit card acquiring business for $5.2 million and recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $3.0 million.

The assets and liabilities relating to the merchant credit card acquiring business were not significant as of September 30, 2008 and as of December 31, 2007.
The results from discontinued operations of the merchant credit card acquiring business for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2008 and 2007 are presented in the following tables:

Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance. The segments of QCR Holdings, Inc. have been defined by the structure of the Company’s internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company’s operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters.
The Company’s primary segment, Commercial Banking, is geographically divided by markets into the secondary segments which are the three subsidiary banks wholly-owned by the Company: Quad City Bank & Trust, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and Rockford Bank & Trust. Each of these secondary segments offer similar products and services, but are managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.
First Wisconsin Bank & Trust is accounted for as discontinued bank operations and has been properly excluded where appropriate. FWBT’s assets held for sale are reported in the “ALL OTHER” segment.
The Company’s Credit Card Processing segment represents the continuing operations of Quad City Bancard, Inc. Bancard is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that provides credit card processing for cardholders of the Company’s three subsidiary banks and approximately one hundred agent banks.
As previously noted, Bancard sold its merchant credit card acquiring business and the Company has accounted for it as discontinued operations. The related financial information has been properly excluded.
The Company’s Trust Management segment represents the trust and asset management services offered at the Company’s three subsidiary banks in aggregate. This segment generates income primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. No assets of the subsidiary banks have been allocated to the Trust Management segment.
The Company’s All Other segment includes the operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds. This segment includes the corporate operations of the parent and the real estate holding operations of Velie Plantation Holding Company.
Selected financial information on the Company’s business segments is presented as follows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company’s subsidiary banks make various commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The commitments and contingent liabilities include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, commitments to extend credit aggregated were $472.4 million and $464.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, standby, commercial and similar letters of credit aggregated were $13.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively. Management does not expect that all of these commitments will be funded.
Contractual obligations and other commitments were presented in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations and other commitments since that report was filed.
NOTE 6 — RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. See NOTE 7 for additional information regarding fair value measurements.
In February of 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (“SFAS No. 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available for eligible items that exist on the date that a company adopts SFAS No. 159 or when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. The decision to elect the fair value option for an eligible item is irrevocable. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. This statement is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. The statement offered early adoption provisions that the Company elected not to exercise. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 during the first nine months of 2008 since the Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible items, as defined in SFAS No. 159.

In December 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. Statement No. 141R fundamentally changes the manner in which the entity will account for a business combination. This Statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or before fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is predominantly prospective. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of Statement No. 141R.
In December 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. Statement No. 160 changes the measurement, recognition and presentation of minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries (now referred to as noncontrolling interests). This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is prospective for the change related to measurement and recognition and retrospective for the changes related to presentation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of Statement No. 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161 (“SFAS No. 161”), which provides for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivatives and how and where those derivatives and related hedged items are reported in the entity’s financial statements. SFAS No. 161 applies to all entities and all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and is effective for the 2009 fiscal year. Among other things, SFAS No. 161 requires disclosures of an entity’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives by primary underlying risk and certain disclosures about the potential future collateral or cash requirements as a result of contingent credit-related features. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161.
NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS
As discussed in NOTE 6 above, on January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a result of this adoption.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value. It also establishes a hierarchy for determining fair value measurement. The hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:
  1.   Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in markets;
 
  2.   Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
 
  3.   Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at September 30, 2008:

Total
  $ 231,623     $ 597     $ 231,026     $  
 
                       
A small portion of the securities available for sale portfolio consists of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which represent quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs).
The large majority of the securities available for sale portfolio consist of U.S. government sponsored agency securities whereby the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were not significant at September 30, 2008.
NOTE 8 — RECENT INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
In response to the current economic events, on October 3, 2008, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “Stabilization Act”). The Stabilization Act authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to implement various temporary emergency programs designed to strengthen the capital positions of financial institutions and stimulate the availability of credit within the U.S. financial system. Pursuant to the Stabilization Act, the U.S. Treasury will have the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced that it will purchase equity stakes in eligible financial institutions that wish to participate. This program, known as the Capital Purchase Program, allocates $250 billion from the $700 billion authorized by the Stabilization Act to the U.S. Treasury for the purchase of senior preferred shares from qualifying financial institutions. Eligible institutions will be able to sell equity interests to the U.S. Treasury in amounts equal to between 1% and 3% of the institution’s risk-weighted assets. In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, the U.S. Treasury will receive warrants to purchase common stock from the participating institutions with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions will be required to adopt the U.S. Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the U.S. Treasury holds equity issued under the Capital Purchase Program. Many financial institutions have already announced that they will participate in the Capital Purchase Program. While the Company’s management is confident that the Company is well positioned for growth, management is examining whether or not the Company will apply to participate in the Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Plan.
Also on October 14, 2008, using the systemic risk exception to the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, the U.S. Treasury authorized the FDIC to provide a 100% guarantee of newly-issued senior unsecured debt and deposits in non-interest bearing accounts at FDIC insured institutions. Initially, all eligible financial institutions will automatically be covered under this program, known as the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, without incurring any fees for a period of 30 days. Coverage under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program after the initial 30-day period is available to insured financial institutions at a cost of 75 basis points per annum for senior unsecured debt and 10 basis points per annum for non-interest bearing deposits. After the initial 30-day period, institutions will continue to be covered under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program unless they inform the FDIC that they have decided to opt out of the program. The Company is assessing its participation in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
Under the Troubled Asset Auction Program, another initiative based on the authority granted by the Stabilization Act, the U.S. Treasury, through a newly-created Office of Financial Stability, will purchase certain troubled mortgage-related assets from financial institutions in a reverse-auction format. Troubled assets eligible for purchase by the Office of Financial Stability include residential and commercial mortgages originated on or before March 14, 2008, securities or obligations that are based on such mortgages, and any other financial instrument that the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury determines, after consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, is necessary to promote financial market stability. The U.S. Treasury has not issued any definitive guidance regarding this program and the Company’s management has not determined whether or not it will participate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
Under the Stabilization Act, the U.S. Treasury is also required to establish a program that will guarantee principal of, and interest on, troubled assets originated or issued prior to March 14, 2008, including mortgage-backed securities. The program may take any form and may vary by asset class, but it must be voluntary and self-funding. The U.S. Treasury has the authority to set premiums to reflect the credit risk characteristics of the insured assets. The U.S. Treasury has solicited requests for comments on how the program should be structured but no program has been implemented to date. The Stabilization Act also temporarily increases the amount of insurance coverage of deposit accounts held at FDIC-insured depository institutions, including our bank subsidiaries, from $100,000 to $250,000. The increased coverage is effective during the period from October 3, 2008 until December 31, 2009.
It is not clear at this time what impact the Stabilization Act, the Capital Purchase Program, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, the Troubled Asset Auction Program, other liquidity and funding initiatives of the Federal Reserve and other agencies that have been previously announced, and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future will have on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations.
The preceding is a summary of recently enacted laws and regulations that could materially impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such laws and regulations and should be read in conjunction with “Supervision and Regulation” discussion contained in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — continued
OVERVIEW
The Company reported earnings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 of $4.3 million, which resulted in diluted earnings per share for common shareholders of $0.83. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Bancard, sold its merchant credit card acquiring business resulting in a gain on sale, net of taxes and related expenses, of approximately $3.0 million or $0.66 per share. Earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 were $1.6 million, which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.25. Earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2007 were $1.7 million and $0.32, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, earnings totaled $6.8 million leading to diluted earnings per share of $1.17. As mentioned above, the gain on sale of the merchant credit card acquiring business was the major contributor to the increase in earnings. Earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $5.3 million and $0.85, respectively. By comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, earnings from continuing operations totaled $4.7 million which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.85. The Company has experienced strong growth in net interest income over the first nine months. This growth has been partially offset by significant increases in the provision for loan/lease losses. Earnings from continuing operations before the provision for loan/lease losses and taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $11.9 million which represents an increase of $3.1 million, or nearly 36%, from $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
When compared to the second quarter of 2008, earnings from continuing operations decreased from $2.0 million to $1.6 million, or 20%, for the third quarter of 2008. The primary reason for this decrease in earnings was a significant increase in the provision for loan/lease losses.

NET INTEREST INCOME
The Company’s operating results are derived largely from net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and investment securities, and interest expense, principally on borrowings and customer deposits. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, net interest spread and net interest margin. Volume refers to the average dollar levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income increased $2.7 million, or 30%, to $11.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, from $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2007. For the third quarter of 2008, average earning assets increased by $159.2 million, or 13%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $127.2 million, or 11%, when compared with average balances for the third quarter of 2007. A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2007 is as follows:
    The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 78 basis points.
 
    The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 129 basis points.
 
    The net interest spread improved 51 basis points from 2.63% to 3.14%.
 
    The net interest margin improved 45 basis points from 2.99% to 3.44%.
Net interest income increased $7.4 million, or 28%, to $33.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $26.0 million for the first nine months of 2007. For the first nine months of 2008, average earning assets increased by $151.9 million, or 13%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $136.5 million, or 13%, when compared with average balances for the first three quarters of 2007. A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the first nine months of 2008 to the first nine months of 2007 is as follows:
    The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 57 basis points.
 
    The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 105 basis points.
 
    The net interest spread improved 48 basis points from 2.55% to 3.03%.
 
    The net interest margin improved 40 basis points from 2.92% to 3.32%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — continued
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance for loan/lease losses. The Company’s allowance for loan/lease loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative in establishing an allowance for loan/lease loss that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans/leases, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans/leases, including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements. Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in the Company’s markets, including economic conditions throughout the Midwest, and in particular, the state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to loan/lease structure, existing loan/lease policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology. Management may report a materially different amount for the provision for loan/lease losses in the statement of operations to change the allowance for loan/lease losses if its assessment of the above factors were different. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein, as well as the portion in the section entitled “Financial Condition” of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that discusses the allowance for loan/lease losses. Although management believes the levels of the allowance as of both September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan/lease portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income increased slightly from $21.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to $21.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Company experienced significant growth in loans/leases as the average balance of loans/leases increased $141.3 million, or 14%, from $1.0 billion for the third quarter of 2007 to nearly $1.2 billion for the same quarter of 2008. The impact of this growth on interest income was effectively offset as a result of the sharp decline in national and local market interest rates over the past year. The Company’s average yield on interest earning assets decreased 78 basis points from 7.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to 6.28% for the same period in 2008.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — continued
Interest income increased by $2.2 million from $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $64.1 million for the same period of 2008. The nearly 4% increase in interest income was attributable to significant growth in loans/leases; specifically, the average balance of loans/leases increased $126.3 million, or 13%, from $979.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1.1 billion for the same time period of 2008. The impact of this growth on interest income was partially reduced as a result of the sharp decline in national and local market interest rates over the past year. The Company’s average yield on interest earning assets decreased 57 basis points from 6.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 6.37% for the first three quarters of 2008.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $2.6 million from $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2007 to $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2008. Although the Company saw an increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $127.2 million, or 11%, from the third quarter in 2007 to the third quarter in 2008, this was more than offset by the decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities. Specifically, the Company’s average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.14% for the third quarter of 2008, which was a decrease of 129 basis points when compared to the 4.43% for the third quarter of 2007.
Interest expense decreased $5.1 million, or 14%, from $35.9 million for the first nine months of 2007 to $30.8 million for the first nine months of 2008. Although the Company saw an increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $136.5 million, or 13%, from the first nine months in 2007 to the first nine months in 2008, this was more than offset by the decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities. Specifically, the Company’s average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which was a decrease of 105 basis points when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES
The provision for loan/lease losses increased $1.2 million from $957 thousand for the third quarter of 2007 to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2008. For the nine-month comparative period, the provision for loan/lease losses increased $2.4 million, or 116%, from $2.1 million for 2007 to $4.5 million 2008. The increases are attributable to the significant growth in loans/leases, some isolated degradation of a few commercial credits requiring specific reserves, and the Company’s decision to increase the qualitative reserve factors applied to all loans within the reserve adequacy calculations for all of the subsidiary banks and the leasing company due to the continued uncertainty regarding the national economy and the impact on the Company’s local markets.
As a result, the Company’s allowance for loan/lease losses to gross loans/leases increased to 1.23% at September 30, 2008 from 1.07% at December 31, 2007.

Trust department fees decreased $143 thousand from the third quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2008, the trust department fees decreased $234 thousand from the same period of 2007. The majority of trust department fees are determined based on performance of the investments within the managed trusts. With the national economic difficulties experienced during the year, many of these investments experienced some downward volatility.
Deposit service fees increased $144 thousand, or 21%, for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, deposit service fees for the first nine months in 2008 increased $402 thousand over the same period of 2007. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in NSF (non-sufficient funds or overdraft) charges related to demand deposit accounts at the Company’s subsidiary banks. During 2008, the Company experienced an increase in the number and amount of demand deposits. Service charges and NSF charges related to the Company’s demand deposit accounts were the main components of deposit service fees.
Gains on sales of loans, net, decreased $77 thousand for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007. For the first nine months of 2008, gains on sales of loans, net, decreased $103 thousand from the first nine months of 2007. This consists primarily of sales of residential mortgages. Loan origination and sales activity for these loan types has slowed as a result of the economic difficulties experienced in 2008.
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company sold its 20% equity position in Nobel Electronic Transfer, LLC resulting in a gain on sale of $436 thousand.
Investment advisory and management fees increased $111 thousand, or 30%, for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, investment advisory and management fees increased $432, thousand, or 38%, for the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007. This increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of CMG Investment Advisors, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quad City Bank & Trust, which occurred in the first quarter of 2008.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of non-interest expenses, increased $819 thousand from the third quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2008, and increased $3.2 million for the nine-month comparative period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in employees from 337 full time equivalents (FTEs) to 349 FTEs from year-to-year, as a result of the Company’s continued growth.

Professional and data processing fees increased $338 thousand for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, for the first nine months of 2008, professional and data processing fees increased $896 thousand, or nearly 36%, from the comparable period of 2007. Contributing to the year-to-year increase was an increase in fees related to several consulting projects at the Company and subsidiary banks. Additionally, fees incurred for data processing experienced an increase as the number of customers and volume of transactions have grown.
FDIC and other insurance expense increased for both comparative periods. These increases were entirely the result of the FDIC’s new premium pricing system and the assessment methodology for deposit insurance coverage now being applied to the subsidiary banks.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $613 thousand for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $744 thousand for the third quarter of 2007 for a decrease of $131 thousand, or 18%. The decrease was partly the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes of $171 thousand, or 7%, for the 2008 quarter when compared to the 2007 quarter. Additionally, the proportionate share of tax-exempt income to total income increased from the third quarter of 2007 to the same quarter for 2008 resulting in a decrease in the effective tax rate from 29.9% to 26.4%.
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $2.2 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $2.0 million for the first nine months of 2007 for an increase of $123 thousand, or 6%. The increase was the result of an increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes of $836 thousand, or 12%, for the first three quarters of 2008 when compared to the same three quarters of 2007. Partially offsetting this increase, the proportionate share of tax-exempt income to total income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulting in a decrease in the effective tax rate from 29.1% for 2007 to 27.5% for 2008.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $2.7 million which represented a significant increase from the $137 thousand loss from discontinued operations incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, earnings from discontinued operations were $1.5 million which is a significant improvement compared to the $538 thousand loss incurred for the same period in 2007. The gain on sale of the merchant credit card acquiring business during the third quarter of 2008 was the major contributor to this significant increase.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company increased by $164.9 million, or 11%, to $1.6 billion at September 30, 2008 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2007. The growth resulted primarily from the net increase in the loan/lease portfolio, funded by increases in interest-bearing deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”).
The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to maximize return while prioritizing the impact on asset-liability position and liquidity needs. Securities increased by $11.4 million, or 5%, to $232.0 million at September 30, 2008 from $220.6 million at December 31, 2007. The Company’s securities available for sale portfolio consists largely of U.S. treasury and government sponsored agency securities. Mortgage-backed securities represents less than 1% of the entire portfolio as of September 30, 2008.
Gross loans/leases receivable grew by $120.8 million, or 11%, to $1.2 billion at September 30, 2008 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2007. The mix of the loan/lease types within the Company’s loan/lease portfolio is presented in the following table. Balances related to discontinued operations have been eliminated for all periods presented.

The majority of residential real estate loans originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with long term fixed rate loans. Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans above.

The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was $14.5 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $3.2 million, or 28%. The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was determined based on factors that included the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, past loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, governmental guarantees and other factors that, in management’s judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate allowance was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio was reviewed and analyzed monthly with specific detailed reviews completed on all loans risk-rated less than “fair quality” and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $100 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was monitored by the loan review staff, and reported to management and the board of directors. Due to the continued uncertainty regarding the national economy and the impact on local markets, the Company increased the qualitative reserve factors applied to all loans within the reserve adequacy calculations for all of the subsidiary banks and the leasing company. As a direct result, the Company’s allowance for loan/lease losses to gross loans/leases increased to 1.23% at September 30, 2008 from 1.07% at December 31, 2007.
Although management believes that the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases at September 30, 2008 was at a level adequate to absorb losses on existing loans/leases, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provisions for loan/lease losses in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision. Asset quality is a priority for the Company and its subsidiaries. The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon the ability to maintain that quality. The Company continually focuses efforts at its subsidiary banks and leasing company with the intention to improve the overall quality of the Company’s loan/lease portfolio.
Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $1.3 million, and for the first nine months of 2007, there were net charge-offs of $985 thousand.

Six separate lending relationships at the subsidiary banks, with an aggregate outstanding balance of $7.9 million, comprised 58% of the total nonperforming assets at September 30, 2008. The existence of a strong collateral position, a governmental guarantee, or an improved payment status on several of these nonperformers significantly reduces the Company’s exposure to loss. The subsidiary banks continue to work toward resolutions with all of these customers. Nonaccrual loans represented less than one percent of the Company’s held for investment loan/lease portfolio at September 30, 2008.
Assets related to discontinued operations, held for sale, were $106.3 million at September 30, 2008 which represented an increase of $38.1 million, or 56%, from $68.2 million at December 31, 2007. FWBT experienced significant growth over the first nine months of 2008.
Deposits increased by $96.4 million, or 11%, to $980.0 million at September 30, 2008 from $884.0 million at December 31, 2007.

Short-term borrowings decreased $43.1 million, or 25%, from $170.2 million at December 31, 2007 to $127.1 million at September 30, 2008. The subsidiary banks offer short-term repurchase agreements to some of their major customers. Also, the subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the Federal Reserve Bank, or from their correspondent banks. Short-term borrowings were comprised of customer repurchase agreements of $66.6 million and $69.7 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, as well as federal funds purchased from correspondent banks of $60.5 million at September 30, 2008 and $100.5 million at December 31, 2007.
FHLB advances increased by $45.9 million, or 27%, to $214.7 million at September 30, 2008 from $168.8 million at December 31, 2007. As a result of their memberships in either the FHLB of Des Moines or Chicago, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. FHLB advances are utilized for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates, and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.
Other borrowings increased $28.9 million from $47.7 million at December 31, 2007 to $76.6 million at September 30, 2008. During 2007, the Company began the utilization of structured wholesale repurchase agreements as an alternative funding source to FHLB advances and customer deposits.
Liabilities related to discontinued operations, held of sale, were $94.8 million at September 30, 2008 which represented an increase of $35.7 million, or 60%, from $59.1 million at December 31, 2007. FWBT experienced significant growth over the first nine months of 2008.
Stockholders’ equity increased $3.4 million from $86.1 million as of December 31, 2007 to $89.4 million as of September 30, 2008. Net income of $6.8 million for the first nine months of 2008 increased retained earnings. This increase was offset by the declaration of preferred stock dividends totaling $1.3 million. Specifically, $804 thousand represented the quarterly dividends on the outstanding shares of Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock at a stated rate of 8.00%, and $534 thousand was the amount of the quarterly dividends on the outstanding shares of Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock at a stated rate of 9.50%. Additionally, the available for sale portion of the securities portfolio experienced a decrease in fair value of $2.5 million, net of tax, for the first three quarters of 2008 as a result of the increase in long-term interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers’ credit needs. The liquidity of the Company primarily depends upon cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of net income, provision for loan/lease losses, and net proceeds on the sales of loans, was $6.2 million and $6.9 million for the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, consisting principally of loan originations and the purchase of securities, was $175.7 million and $145.7 million for the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of growth in deposits and FHLB advances, for the first three quarters of 2008 was $162.9 million, and for the same period in 2007 was $135.6 million, consisting principally of increases in short-term and other borrowings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — continued
The Company and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the subsidiary banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the notifications that management believes have changed each institution’s categories. The Company and the subsidiary banks’ actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are also presented in the table (dollars in thousands):

(A)   As a de novo bank, Rockford Bank & Trust cannot, without the prior consent of the Federal Reserve Bank, pay dividends until after the first three years of operations and two consecutive satisfactory CAMELS ratings. In addition, the Bank is required to maintain a tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 9% throughout tis first three years of operations. The de novo period for Rockford Bank & Trust expired on January 3, 2008.
On April 24, 2008, the Company declared a common dividend of $0.04 per share, or $184 thousand, which was paid on July 7, 2008 to common stockholders of record on June 23, 2008. It is the Company’s intention to consider the payment of common dividends on a semi-annual basis. The Company anticipates an ongoing need to retain much of its operating income to help provide the capital for continued growth; however it believes that operating results have reached a level that can sustain dividends to common stockholders as well.
In recent years, the Company secured additional capital through various resources including approximately $36.1 million through the issuance of trust preferred securities and $20.4 million through the issuance of non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates. The Company’s net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net income.
In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company’s interest rate risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank’s interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank. Internal asset/liability management teams consisting of members of the subsidiary banks’ management meet twice a month, at a minimum, to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks. Management also reviews the subsidiary banks’ securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board’s objectives in the most effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company’s interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.
In adjusting the Company’s asset/liability position, the board and management attempt to manage the Company’s interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board and management may decide to increase the Company’s interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company’s results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure over a one year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth and a 200 basis point upward and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates, where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date. The model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period. Application of the simulation model analysis at June 30, 2008 demonstrated a -2.89% decrease in net interest income with a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, and a 1.14% increase in net interest income with a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates. Due to the status of the current interest rate environment, consideration of a 200 basis point downward shift is not realistic; therefore, the Company quantified the interest rate risk for a 100 basis point downward shift. Both simulations are within the board-established policy limits of a 10% decline in value.
Interest rate risk is considered to be the most significant market risk affecting the Company. For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and their risk management system to monitor and control the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.
